Yah, we had one of these in Santa Rosa and it was neat being able to pick
what you wanted and they cooked it. But, that isn't even close as that it
more stir-fry than cooking little bits of meat and little bits of vegetables
without combining them, no sauces that I saw, no broth that I saw. Just
basically frying little bits of meat and little bits of vegetable. It is
possible the meat was marinated. I don't know. The segment in the movie
(which I haven't been able to find) was very short.

Somebody!
